An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine by John Henry Cardinal Newman
Reprinted from the 1878 edition, this ""is rightly regarded as one of the most seminal theological works ever to be written,"" states Ian Ker in his foreword to this sixth edition. ""It remains,"" Ker continues, ""the classic text for the theology of the development of doctrine."It is a great boon to Newman scholars and to the general public to have available the revised, 1878 edition of Newman's essay on development. . . As an added benefit, it contains a superb foreword by Father Ian Ker which places the essay within the context of Newman's own theological work as well as that of the theological understandings of development which preceded and followed the essay. [It] is also the profoundly personal stand of one of the finest theological minds of the nineteenth century. . . . This book belongs in every theological library, and is accessible to most educated readers. It is especially rewarding for those who find the study of history a liberating theological exercise." —The Catholic World
Ian Ker is a member of the theology faculty at Oxford University. His many works include The Catholic Revival in English Literature, 1845-1961 (University of Notre Dame Press, 2003).
